For fecks sake, I might be dim, but I'm no Robbie Savage.

Absolutely. It's just the conviction of the first sentence that makes me laugh like it was obvious they'd be in the race for top 4.

To be fair. I thought they were in with a shout start of the season too.

I never thought that but did think they'd done right by buying young. No problem with the view at all.
But "Anyone thinking that they wont challenge for 4th is nuts" is a very strong statement.

Just seen the new drawings of their new stadium on coys. Looks good but have copied ours quite a bit, which I guess you’d expect them to do (including the single tiered stand) but it’s still in Liverpool.
Hopefully it makes Anfield look shit.

In theory..... if the build a football stadium that’s designed to hold a few other events (concerts, boxing, ...) and rent is realistic. (I.e. covers operating costs and pays back all loans over say 50 years) there is no reason this couldn’t work and be a community asset.
The reality is the design will get compromised to suit everyone that shouts loud In the community and the money will get pissed away as everyone will want a slice and it’ll end up costing double like all public projects.

True.
Grey Fox is aware I wasn't singling him out. Just the confidence of the statement made me laugh.

Everton's owner needs to be ruthless and ditch Fat Sam the day after the season ends
He then needs to get in a young manager for the 'long-term' and give him £80m to £100m to add to the squad
And most of all, he needs to give the new manager time (3 or 4 seasons) to shape things
Otherwise Everton will be a mid-table side for the foreseeable future

Isnt that what they fid last summer?
All these new owners think they can build a successful team in a season. It took us 15 years.

Consistency is the mark of success so I'd disagree with that.

Outside of spending money they don't appear to have many plans.
They bought a lot of young players, nothing wrong with that in theory, then hired Koeman a manager who didn't bring through youth at Southampton.
Once they fired Koeman they first approached Silva then hired Allardyce. Not exactly like for like managers. They are not building continuity just spending money and hiring the best manager available.
